KLB ELISA Kit (Human) (OKBB01024)

Description of target: Klotho beta, a divergent structural member of the glycosidase I superfamily, is expressed primarily in the liver and pancreas, with lower expression in adipose tissue. It is mapped to chromosome 4. The Klotho beta mediated interaction of human FGF19 (mouse FGF15) with FGF Receptor 4 in the liver negatively regulates bile acid synthesis by controlling the secretion of two key bile acid synthase genes, cholesterol 7-alpha hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) and sterol 12-alpha hydroxylase (Cyp8b1). Klotho beta is also an essential cofactor for FGF21 activity and the Klotho gene family may have evolved to confer tissue-specific bioactivity on FGF19 subfamily members.;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <10pg/ml
